Alan "Blind Owl" Christie Wilson was a founding member, occasional lead vocalist, and primary composer in the American blues band Canned Heat. He played guitar and harmonica, and wrote most of the songs for the band.
Born on July 04, 1943 in Arlington, Massachusetts, Al Wilson's musical journey began at an early age. His immense talent as a musician led him to become an integral part of Canned Heat, where he contributed his soulful vocals and captivating songwriting skills.
Tragically, Al Wilson's life was cut short on September 03, 1970 in Topanga, California due to a barbiturate overdose at the young age of 27. Despite his untimely demise, his legacy lives on through his timeless music that continues to inspire generations.

Released in 1973, this record was the first Al Wilson LP for the Rocky Road label. The hit title track Show and Tell shot to the top of the US pop charts, and also reached top ten in the R&amp;B charts. Due to some poor business decisions by his label, Wilson never truly got the credit he deserved as a contending hitmaker, but Hidle Brown Barnum's arrangements here come packed with gritty horns, lustrous strings and sultry soul vocals. These 11 sides are certainly worth collecting for any true fan of mid-70s soul music.
